I like the ones Chibi suggested too. They replicate the right body lines and curves of the Monte with its fender flares - seems like a good match/fit. Either way, go chrome if you can afford it and can keep 'em clean

I like the clear coated aluminum look a bit more then chrome... But I lean a little more on the American Racing wheels I posted (which SummitRacing sells those ones). Those wheels (as someone else pointed out) really replicate the look of the Z06 Vette wheels I love (but won't fit on the Monte).

The Moda MD8's are a close, close 2nd.

The Impala wheels I thought were "neat" from a stock wheel point of view but lack the finish of thinner spokes that would really look hot on the Monte.

Sadly I am not yet to the point of having the money to get new wheels and tires (and the AR wheels are almost double the cost of the MD8's).

Costs are what was keeping me from those MD8s as well. By the time all was said and done I would have been $1400 in.

Luckily I found my Eagle 077s used for only $250. Just gotta wrap new rubber on them this year haha.

Keep the funds open, I know tirerack goes through styles like crazy and clearances them pretty well.

I figure until I have at least $1000 to chuck at NEW wheels and tires, I best just keep saving and keep the dream.

Plus as you said, TireRack changes styles and puts things on clearance. My time will come.
